Bob sez:
Schulze was only "officially" in the band for the first Ash Ra Tempel LP,
but the fourth was indeed the result of jam sessions associated with the
_Tarot_ recording and Schulze was on it.
Psy Free never recorded and predated T. Dream, A.R.T. and Steeplechase -
they were supposedly one of the first free-form freakout bands as the
nascent psychedelic underground sound began to edge out the predominant
"Beat" sound in Germany circa 67-69.
They're mentioned in both the Freeman brothers' "Crack in the Cosmic Egg"
and Julian Cope's "Krautrocksampler" - the latter misspells "Schulze" as
"Schultze" throughout the book, which I just noticed, but you can add that
to whatever list of irritations you already have with it. Cope says "the
music was somersaulting, trippy and deeply out there" - unless there are
tapes I don't know about (write if you do!), I don't know how he knows
that.
